Cookies

The website of Vabo-N GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. They serve to optimize our Internet presence and our offers. These are mostly so-called “session cookies”, which are deleted after the end of your visit. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie your IP address. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of an Internet site that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the Internet site, because this is handled by the Internet site and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. Through the use of cookies, the Vabo-N GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our offers and to provide you with easier access to our site. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO are based.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO are based. Processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).

We collect personal data for:

  • For the purpose of contract performance
  • For the purpose of providing, improving and personalizing our services
  • For the purpose of contacting you regarding your account and providing customer service
  • For the purpose of personalizing our advertisements and marketing messages
  • For the purpose of preventing, detecting, containing, and investigating unlawful activities.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

5. duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

6. processing of personal data

(1) Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of Vabo-N GmbH by providing personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the data controller in the process, results from the respective input mask “Registration” (title, first name, last name, country), are collected and stored exclusively for the use of our offer. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the controller’s own purposes.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

Vabo-N GmbH will provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about which personal data are stored about the data subject. Furthermore, Vabo-N GmbH will correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

(2) Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of Vabo-N GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter, results from the input mask used for this purpose (e-mail address, title, first name, last name). Vabo-N GmbH informs its customers and brand ambassadors at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller. The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or the change of technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, also directly on the website of the controller, or to notify the controller of this in another way.

(3) Use of MailChimp
Consent newsletter
With regard to the use of your personal data to receive our newsletter, you will be asked for consent at the given point as follows: “I have taken note of the privacy policy, in particular I agree that the data processing will be carried out at a service provider in the U.S.”. We use the MailChimp component to send our newsletters. MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA. The data stored during newsletter registration (e-mail address, name if applicable, IP address, date and time of your registration) is transferred to a server of The Rocket Science Group in the USA and stored there in compliance with the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. Further information on data protection at MailChimp can be found at: http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ Further information on the “EU-US Privacy Shield” can be found at: The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information http://www.ec.europa.eu. You can cancel or revoke your subscription to this newsletter and thus your consent to the storage of your data at any time for the future. Details of this can be found in the confirmation email and in each individual newsletter.

(4) Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of Vabo-N GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Vabo-N GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject. This is an automatic feature of MailChimp. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. We ask for your consent in this regard at the given point as follows: “I agree that my data and my usage behavior are electronically stored by the newsletter tracking in order to send me an individualized newsletter. With the revocation of the consent to receive the newsletter, the consent to the aforementioned tracking is also revoked.” This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Vabo-N GmbH automatically interprets a cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

(5) Contact possibility
On our site we offer you the possibility to contact us by e-mail and/or via a contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user will be stored for the purpose of processing his contact. The data will not be passed on to third parties. A comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our site also does not take place.

(6) Disclosure of personal data
Due to the complexity of today’s data processing processes, we sometimes use contract processors and entrust them with the processing of your data. Some of these service providers are located outside the territory of the European Union. However, in all cases where we use service providers, we always ensure that the European level of data protection and European data security standards are maintained. If you would like to know more about how and to what extent we process your data in your specific business case or pass it on to service providers and what protective measures we have taken in this regard, please contact support@vabo-n.com.

(7) Involvement of brand ambassadors
If you entrust a brand ambassador with your registration, he or she will collect and process your personal data and forward it to us in the back office for the purpose of concluding your contract as a Vabo-N customer or brand ambassador. Likewise, in the back office, we transmit to your brand ambassador personal data about you and your status to the extent that your brand ambassador requires this for your support. Because your brand ambassador itself must guarantee that your data is used in a manner that complies with data protection regulations, we always take the utmost care when selecting our brand ambassadors to work with.

7. routine deletion and blocking of personal data

Vabo-N GmbH processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where otherwise provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which Vabo-N GmbH is subject.

10. privacy policy on the use and application of social media buttons with “Shariff

We use the c’t project “Shariff” on our website. “Shariff” replaces the usual share buttons of social networks and thereby protects surfing behavior.

“Shariff” embeds these share buttons of the social networks on our website only as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding social network. By clicking on the corresponding graphic, you will be redirected to the service of the respective network. The Shariff button establishes direct contact between social network and our visitors only when the visitor actively clicks on the share button. Only then will your data be transmitted to the respective social network. If, on the other hand, the Shariff button is not clicked, no exchange takes place between you and the social networks.

For more information about the c’t project “Shariff”, please visit http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.

We integrate the following social networks with “Shariff” on our website:

  • Pinterest
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Google+

The contents of this website were created with the greatest possible care and to the best of our knowledge. Nevertheless, the provider of this website assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, completeness and accuracy of the pages and content provided.

11. privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook

Vabo-N GmbH has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests, among other features.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the person concerned. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different applications are available that allow you to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

12. privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

Vabo-N GmbH has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Vabo-N GmbH uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages takes place from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of such data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within his or her control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
